Book: California Demon by Julie Kenner
Starting Point: Chapter Four
2 Chapters Completed:50 pages

Progress Notes from Kerri:

Yesterday was a bad day for work progress but good day for family. Daughter's birthday a success--word count half way there. No reading. Must catch up today! Cut index finger right hand this a.m. so typing proves to be a challenge. Ugh!

Book: The Cabinet of the Dead (short story) Today's total word count: 1047

What I'm reading?

Book: Expedition to the Mountains of the Moon 1K Completed: Yes! Today's Book Note: I think if the time traveling in this book was to a time farther away from the protagonist's own time it wouldn't be as confusing.

What I'm writing? Book: UntitledToday's total word count: 4,000 (roughly) for a total of 10,236 words. I was reading your comment back and then, after doing some investigating, found that I was putting my total word count… for my entire book. To clear things up… I wrote 4,000 on the first day (roughly), 3,000 on the second (roughly), and 3,000 again today (again, roughly.)

What I'm reading? Book: Bells by Jen Calonita 1K Completed: I started somewhere around chapter fifteen (page 198) I went on to finish the book (page 352) just a few minutes ago (I wish I had something better to day like… “I was just lounging and decided to read a bit –what? 200 pages? Please! That is nothing for an established author such as me.” Alas I cannot, nor will I ever be able to, say that.) Today's Book Note: I will not say I saw the ending coming (although I did. You can thank Amazon reviews for that one. Go on, thank ‘em.) It was enjoyable all the same. I loved Jen Calonita’s Secrets of My Hollywood Life Series. It expanded my reading to more than just rereading Twilight and Harry Potter. I have had this book on my shelves since June of 2012 (It came out in April and I couldn’t find it anywhere –B&N is out to get me) but kept putting it down because the two main characters just weren’t Katelyn Burke! This challenge really… challenged me to get through this book and I am so glad. I LOVED IT!

Work kept me busier today, so I didn’t get as much writing in as I would’ve liked. Plus, it’s our gym night, which takes 2 hours (with travel time) from my evening, and pretty much zaps me. Still, I was able to get some pages in, so I’m happy about that. Three days in a row so far. Yay!
